Fix IMM#showInputMethodAndSubtypeEnabler().
At least on AOSP InputMethodManager#showInputMethodAndSubtypeEnabler() has been broken since its beginning. As of Android M, there are three separate issues: 1. Type mismatch in message dispatching layer. 2. It does not correctly reject API calls from clients that do not have IME focus. 3. Context#startActivityAsUser(intent, null, UserHandle.CURRENT) ends up with java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: startActivity asks to run as user -2 but is calling from user 0; this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL. Given that we have a good alternative to achieve the same result, it would make sense to deprecate that method and encourage developers to use Intent-based solution instead. Before doing that, this CL fixes the issues just for the record. Bug: 26189558 Change-Id: Ic7a0df3203fee19542a3143abba9bc31baf9698a
